• Safari Window Management

  Https://fluidapp.com/ might do it for you. Other applications like this also exist. - Source: Reddit / 22 days ago

• Web Push for Web Apps on iOS and iPadOS

  Does Fluid[1] work as a solution for you? I’m on an older OS with an older version but I love it for creating single-site apps. [1] https://fluidapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Pls recommend a window manager that suits my specific need

  Rectangle Pro can do that, if you pair it with advanced bettertouchtool triggers. But I don't think your solution is optimal, it'd be much easier to create a reddit.com webapp with e.g. fluid.app, make so every reddit link is handled via the reddit webapp using e.g. openin.app, and just store its size and location in app window presets which Rectangle or BTT can do easily. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Jsonhero.io: Enhanced JSON structure visualization

  Didn't know that about Edge, thanks! For other browsers (incl Edge) Fluid does the same for me (http://fluidapp.com (not affiliated)) After opening a few emails:. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

  I use Fluid app for some stuff like this. There's a free version that may suffice. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Do you think that Mozilla team needs to bring back web-apps, now that a big flow of chrome users will be looking for another browser?

  I appreciate your post. I think for your requirements, there could/should be some kind of packaging app for websites like used to exist for "widgets". These seem to exist for macOS, which seems to be precisely the platform that you don't use -- see https://fluidapp.com for example. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• Having a hard time adapting to an all-web-based workspace

  You could use fluid or Coherence X and use Alfred - Productivity App for macOS or spotlight to launch them. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Elixir Livebook now as a desktop app

  Or Fluid which is free except for a few features which cost $5 (https://fluidapp.com/). - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Mac OS desktop application for Phish.in or Relisten?

  You can use the free Fluid app (https://fluidapp.com) to turn any single website into its own Mac Desktop application. You should give that a shot if you really want each site to have their own app. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• For anyone using Android with macOS, you can install messages.google.com as a PWA (from Edge) and use it as an iMessage replacement when connected to your Android Phone - You need to download the official Google Messaging app from the Play Store, too.

  I don’t have a direct answer, but you could check if Fluid does the job. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I developed a native macOS Hacker News client

  Unfortunately I don’t like Electron, and I did try out some solutions (e.g. Fluid[0]) that don’t use Electron, but it felt best to create a native Mac app with Cocoa. [0]: https://fluidapp.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Tip for M1 users: use Microsoft teams as an Edge app instead of the desktop app

  I prefer Fluid on the Mac, does the same thing and uses the Safari engine. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• What is a good email client that you have to pay for?

  On Mac, Fluid makes any web app into a standalone "native" app. It's how I use Fastmail and it works well. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

• SOLVED — finally managed to get my favorites into the menubar using Butler app and Chrome in app-mode

  It wasn’t Unite 4, but I appreciate knowing about it now. It’s an older app called Fluid. At the time it was one or two of its kind, but the dev hasn’t caught up with newer macOS and there are so many competitors know; I imagine they’ve given up. Although if that’s the case, it’s a shame the app is still for sale. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

• How to create a website shortcut on the desktop

  You can try using Fluid, as it can convert a website into a desktop app. The only major con is that you can't use the app in Full Screen mode. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

• [SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION] I made an app called Orion, which intends to make websites to look like an app.

  I made Orion as a very simple app to learn flutter. I was inspired by Fluid on the mac and I wanted to make a mobile version. Any reviews and advice would be greatly appreciated. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
